(Press-Register/Mike Kittrell)Mobile officials say higher business license fees for big box stores such as Sam's Club are necessary to offset revenue the city is expected to lose because of a statewide business license change. The Sam's Club store in Mobile is shown Friday.

Sam's Club will have a free
children's health screening event on Saturday, August 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
all Club locations with a pharmacy.

The screenings are open to
everyone, Members and non-Members alike.

No insurance is necessary either.

Parents simply have to show up and tell the door greeters that they are there for
the health screening. Sam's Club pharmacies are also open to everyone anytime
(health screening or no), so people do not need to be Sam's Club Members to fill
prescriptions at a Sam's Club pharmacy.

PLUS -- They will receive a free DNA and fingerprint kits
at the pharmacy, Sam's Club will distribute Sesame Street's
"Healthy
Teeth, Healthy Me"
outreach kits.

"Reinforcing

Sam's Club is proud to help parents accomplish this responsibility for the
second year in a row," said Jill

provided 1.4 million free health screenings in the past year and a half, and we
remain committed to providing quality health solutions for the entire
family."

The

management. In the meantime, Sam's Club licensed professional pharmacists are
available every day to support their communities with preventative health and
wellness solutions, one-on-one smoking cessation counseling and low prices on
